Gyorko went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Padres on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gyorko now has eight round trippers overall against his old Padres squad over the last three seasons. The veteran infielder hadn't gone deep since May 11 prior to Monday's blast, his longest such drought of the season. The homer was only his third hit of June thus far, a slump that's helped lead to his .143 monthly average.

Gyorko is not in the lineup Sunday against the Pirates.

Gyorko is out of Friday's lineup against the Pirates, FOX Sports Midwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kolten Wong gets the start at the keystone against righty Jameson Taillon, as Gyorko continues to be treated as a part-time player who doesn't get strictly platooned. In 80 May at-bats, Gyorko hit .263/.306/.375 with two home runs and 22 strikeouts.

Gyorko is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against Pittsburgh, Jim Hayes of FOX Sports Midwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gyorko went 2-for-5 with a two-run single in a win over the Brewers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gyorko capped off a four-run second for the Cardinals with a single to center that plated Kolten Wong and Francisco Pena. The 29-year-old infielder now has a pair of two-RBI tallies over his last three games, and he's hit safely in five of his last six contests overall. Timely hitting has been a constant for Gyorko during May, a month during which he's compiled 12 of his 17 RBI for the season.

Gyorko is not in the lineup Sunday against the Pirates, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gyorko will catch a breather after going 2-for-8 with three strikeouts through the first two games of the weekend series. Matt Carpenter will take over at third base with Kolten Wong drawing the start at the keystone.

Gyorko went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in a loss to the Phillies on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Gyorko has shown a penchant for timely hitting recently, as he now has six RBI over the last four games. That includes back-to-back games in which he's driven in two runs apiece, and notably, he's accomplished that production without any extra-base hits. Despite having been charged with two errors on throws Saturday, Gyorko figures to continue seeing the majority of work at shortstop in the absence of Paul DeJong (hand), Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Gyorko will start at third base and bat fifth Sunday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

With Gyorko receiving his third straight start Sunday -- with one during that span also coming against a right-hander -- it appears he may have temporarily overtaken Matt Carpenter as the Cardinals' primary third baseman. While the switch is mostly a byproduct of Carpenter's deep struggles (.145 average, three home runs in 136 plate appearances) this season, Gyorko has earned the extra work by swinging a hot bat of late. Over his last eight appearances, Gyorko has gone 8-for-24 with a pair of home runs while walking three times.

Gyorko went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a walk in an extra-innings win over the Cubs on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gyorko laced a 376-foot shot to left in the second, opening the scoring on the night for the Cardinals and knotting the game at 1-1. The versatile infielder has taken full advantage of his limited opportunities this season, slashing .375/.500/.719 over 42 plate appearances while compiling five extra-base hits (two doubles, three home runs). With his ability to play all around the infield and Matt Carpenter particularly struggling thus far, Gyorko could be in line for consistent playing time throughout the season.

Gyorko went 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

He's now got two homers on the season, both of which have come in the last three games. Gyorko's hamstring injury earlier in April has limited him to just 11 games so far, but he's made the most of what playing time he's received, slashing .421/.556/.789.
